Team building and away days

As a centre for scientific excellence, with the likes of Charles Darwin listed as a fellow and the site of inspiration for A.A Milne’s infamous Winnie the Pooh, ZSL London Zoo is the perfect venue to motivate and inspire your delegates.

Set in 36 acres of zoological gardens ZSL London Zoo is home to 720 species of animals; an inspiring setting to nurture an unforgettable away day or team building event. Our versatile Prince Albert Suite or grade II listed Mappin Pavilion offer plenty of natural daylight and an airy environment and will be the base for your day.

The Ultimate Ice Breaker

Working from a basic ice template and against a one hour time line, guests have to learn to work together, listen to each other and get creative sculpting one of our friendly residents out of a 50cm x 24cm x 33cm solid black of ice! It’s a fantastic test of team work, in a fun environment, doing something that is far away from everyday working life.

The Haka

From outside of your room the ancient Maori chant is heard. This is the tribal call to ‘action’. Suddenly our tribal warriors burst into your suite and your group is transfixed. In full traditional wear and adorning the distinctive face markings they perform the Haka displaying pure passion, dignity and pride. Your group are told it’s their turn next. Cement yourself within your team, feel pride and unity with your colleagues and move forward as one.
